Tinder is for everyone, even the New York Jets. Several players on the team have turned to the online dating and hookup app to find love, according to a report from the Washington Street Journal.

The crux of the Journal's story is that most players named admit to hiding their involvement in professional sports, hoping to find real love or at least companions who aren't enamored with their high profile position in the NFL.

That's all well and good, but my favorite part of the story is that it conveniently skips over the fact that Tinder probably also takes much of the friction out of traveling athletes finding weekend pals for casual encounters. After all, Tinder was originally in the vein of Grindr and Blendr, precusor applications that ranged from dating to purely being a hookup scene based on user.

Modern usage of Tinder suggests it is used both for folks seeking long-term relationships and something more casual, so maybe we're meant to read the "pro athletes use hookup app" thing as subtext.
